FALL FABRIC FROLIC 2 Information

Dates:  Fri, Oct 12-Sun Oct 14
Berwick Fire Hall
Berwick, Nova Scotia

If you were there last year, we know you want to come back. If you weren't there, where were you?? It's FALL FABRIC FROLIC 2!
Our theme this year is "Renew, Recreate and Rejuvenate".  Join us as we spend a relaxing weekend quilting, enjoying fine food and socializing in great company.  We'll celebrate our resourcefulness as quilters to re-create, recycle and renew using the materials and fabrics we have.  Come prepared to be inspired and pampered as you take a class from Teacher Jane Madden, or work on your own project in a bright and spacious setting.  We have many surprises and fun challenges in store as we think about how we can make the most of what we have in our stash. . . .

Teacher:   Jane Madden, Truro.
Project:  A practical and beautiful Quilters' tote---your choice of 3 sizes. We'll be the trendiest BAG LADIES in town!
You will need to bring your own machine and a basic sewing supply kit. The teacher's supply list will be emailed or mailed to you in September if you are registering for the class. Pre-cutting of some fabrics and advance preparation will be required.
You may choose not to take the class- we have the UFO challenge room for those who just want an uninterrupted weekend of sewing in the company of other quilters to get that latest project done.  We will also have some mystery challenge projects for optional participation.

Food for Thought
Meals and snacks are being provided by Meadowbrook Meat Market again this year.  Back by popular demand, Margie and her team will wow you with their delicious selections of healthy snacks, mouth watering treats and of course, treat you to at least one meal featuring locally famous "Jimmy Lamb Ham".

Evening Entertainment will include a Silent Auction, a Show of Work by Guild members and a Trunk show by our teacher for the class, Jane Madden.

Registration minimum is 20, maximum is 30 participants.  Guild members are given first priority, early registration is advised!  All paid registrations received by June 15 will be eligible for early bird draws.
